Peter Sorgi stated they will comply without variance. Chairman Doug Crow inquired about the SHPO. Peter Sorgi stated that SHPO signed off on the archaeological, and that they are working with them on the basic maintenance improvements. Chairman Doug Crow requested clarification that this property is eligible for historic but is not historical yet. Peter Sorgi confirmed it is eligible and they hired Clinton Brown to help facilitate this. Chairman Doug Crow asked Asst. CEO as to whether fire hydrant(s) will be required. Asst. CEO Richard Miga stated that would depend on the specific requirements of each structure and whether fire protection system is required. These units would be considered transient units. That is a hotel and motel, and those aspects may incur having a sprinkler system, but we would have to go through a code analysis. Peter Sorgi noted that DEC issued permits for campgrounds and they will have their own set of requirements. Chairman Doug Crow asked the board if they had any questions. Chris Contento asked whether there is an intent for RV spots. Peter Sorgi said no. Tim Stroth asked whether the main house will be seasonal or not. Peter Sorgi responded that the main house will be year-round and the cottages and treehouses as seasonal. He then recited the campground definition. Tim Stroth questioned whether the main house was in the Rural Residential (RR) or the Agriculture (Ag) zoning district. Peter Sorgi noted that the zoning district line goes right through the building and the building is mostly in the Ag district. He stated he has a discussion regarding this with Ms. Liz Cassidy of the Building Department. Tim Stroth asked if that is an official interpretation from the building department regarding the main building being considered in the Ag district? Asst. CEO Richard Miga confirmed that Liz’s interpretation is the interpretation of our office. Peter Sorgi noted that the board having the application in front of you is the Building Department’s approval of the application.
